Disneyland Band, August 13 1955
It's just another lazy summer day in Disneyland as the marching band heads towards Main Street for an afternoon parade. The park is less than a month old at the time this photo was shot, and it sure does feel smaller. In early images, you'll often see families relaxing on the park benches, taking in a band concert at the gazebo, and chillin' (but never illin'). Which makes it feel more like a "real" small midwestern town.
This slide had turned a deep magenta and required quite a bit of Photoshop adjustment...which explains the slightly wonky colors!

What a wonderful shot! The 1955 photos are always my favorite. Thanks for doing such a great job on the blog!
So you had Willie Wonka help you with color on this slide? Just kidding. Nice slide and I always like the Band in the blue uniforms.
Thank you tinker bell!
And matterhorn, yes, this photo is an early experiment in Wonkavision!
